It’s nice to see Texas win a game — a bowl game — but it shows how far they are since the days when they were a top team. They are bragging about a season in which they lost six games and had top players who wouldn’t even play in the bowl game. I’ll bet Nobis played in his bowl game despite having a pro career waiting.

They may be better in the next few years, but silly stuff about water bottles is not going to make them a winner. At times the defense, especially Poona Ford, was great, but a long way to go to what Texas once was. At least the effort was there in the bowl game.

school campuses. It exists to give recruits an opportunity to focus on the preseason and their respective high school teams.
It also gives the college coaches a chance to pour time into preparing...

In the University of Maryland Medical Center hospital wing where he had lain five years earlier, battling for his life, Gavin Class leaned over the bed of Jordan McNair, grasped his hand and whispered to him. "Be strong, Jordan," Class recalled saying in his early-June visit. "Fight every day. Be positive." McNair, 19...
